Hello all,
It's been almost 8 months since I got my s3 and it was going kinda good till I encountered a problem 2 days ago
my mobile started to freeze very often ( I had to remove the battery to turn it off before I know that I can long press the powe button ) I decided to do factory reset. However, kies can not make the bqck up while the mobile is not responding.
I tried safe mode and the issue still exist.
is there away to fix the whole thing on just backing up when the phone is switched off??
Looking forward to hearing from you soon
Regards
Does the phone still freeze while in download mode? If not then adb can be used to backup the phone storage, or use Mike Skip's tool to automate this.
Try reading the freeze thread, if you leave the phone long enough - once it is frozen, it may start to respond again.
you can't backup a swiched off phone :/

What would you like to backup? I can give you some possibilities:
1. Phone numbers can be backed up through a Google Account.
2. Pictures you can copy/paste to your computer after connecting your phone by a USB cable. So the Media.
3. SMS: you can download from the Google Store the free SMS Backup and Restore App.
4. Applications: The downloaded ones from the Store - through your Google Account. The others: download from the Store the free Super Backup App.

Besides the backup methods - there is a possibility to flash a stock rom without format and wipes, through Odin. It is supposed to keep your data and applications.

Does this affect official ROM installed on the device?

1- I have already enabled backing up through Google Account but when I formatted my mobile last time I could not restore them back
2,3,4- When the mobile freezes it stops responding and I can not do any of those
and using a custom or even another official ROM is not preferred

Only if you actually flash or install something .
You require a service centre .
Backup try Carbon from the market ...

Hello,
I would like to restore my data using backup in Kies but I can not finish it by pressing next button (see picture). I have latest firmware of phone and Kies. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Kies problem probably
because I was trying to recover data from P7510 tablet and have the same problem here, now I have phone without any contact
probably the best solution is to call samsung customer services and let them help you out...thats what i would do firstly my friend...

well that was pretty pathetic from them...ehh have you gone into the search tool bar on top of the forum to see if there are more threads regarding kies?
sure, i have searched xda and also web using uncle google
could you pls (or someone else) try to backup your e.g. contacts and then restore (only if you are able to continue (not necessary to click next button)
edit:
i tried to install kies_win_v1.5.3.10103_102 but this was too old version not supported my phone, so i tried Kies 2.0.0.11014_49 and in this version I was able to restore my contacts (unfortunatelly not calendar, sms, mail setting etc). I will have to wait for fully functional version of Kies to restore all my data.
The last version of Kies (Kies_2.0.3.11082_152_2) has bug
I have the same problem. I noticed it after first flashing my phone with the android 2.3.5 firmware (which wiped the phone), then going back to a previous firmware. As far as I know the phone version is correct now. I could update to the latest official firmware through Kies, but after that I can't restore any personal data and settings from the backup I made in Kies before starting to flash the phone.
I thought it might be from the flashings it didn't work. But maybe it is just a badly written software (Kies). I really hope a new version comes soon.
/Michael
I finally found version 2.0.2.11071 here: http://www.soft82.com/get/download/windows/samsung-kies/
After uninstalling the newest version of Kies and installing this one instead I now at least got the option to restore everything, including personal data and settings.
I am restoring right now, so I can't yet confirm that it actually works. But I'm getting some hope back.
Well, it worked... sort of.
Contacts weren't an issue for me since I only have Google contacts, but I wanted call logs and messages back, which I got. I think contacts would work as well.
But the process was a bit strange. I selected to restore everything. When the restoring process was running a green check mark was placed over each item that was finished (as expected). When the last item was finished I got a red cross over each item instead and a message telling me I have have aborted the restore process.
Anyway, the call logs and messages was all there. So I'm pretty pleased anyway.

Do u use a 3rd party touchscreen app or try turn of WiFi, data and GPS to see if any apps is connecting to internet so the phone won't go into deepsleep.if this helps then turn off sync, this might do the trick.
just go back to default factory settings:
Backup every single thing you need backing up and then type this into the keypad:
*2767*3855#
WARNING: THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE 1 TIME IT WONT ASK FOR CONFIRMATION. IT WILL JUST WIPE AND GO BACK TO FACTORY SETTINGS

Uninstall the laterst apps one by one until the problem disappear.it's a wakelock issue means an app in keeping your phone from going into deepsleep.
Original Facebook app is one of those apps and also a known battery drainer.

Did you download the application from playstore or any other site (could be a virus)?
A factory reset should solve the problem. But if you have root, backup your data first :good:

Depends on the country I guess. I think I had 2 years (not sure). But you could just write an email to the sony support with your IMEI and the date when you bought your phone. They should be able to tell you if you're still under warranty

Hi,
Actually after updating my phone (SE Live with Walkman) to ICS, once I switch my Bluetooth on, my phone gets restarted again and again.
I was searching for the solutions everywhere in the world..))
But finally I realize that i'm having a small delay in next restart of my phone.
So, in that time I quickly went to Settings and turned my Bluetooth Off. Now it's working fine.
And I decided not to use my Bluetooth anymore... (till the time I reach Sony Ericsson mobile service center)
Hope you also may have a chance to resolve the issue. (Temporarily at least)

Remove both sd card and sim. And then try to switch off Bluetooth by dropping notification panel and selecting setting option there. You see the screen doesn't show anything so we have to imagine the setting option and touch the Bluetooth toggle switch. It's all imaginary.. I've done this 4-5 times. But you've to be patient enough.
If still you're unable to understand the process kindly reply with your email. I'll make a video and share it with you all.

Apps you have downloaded from Google PlayStore are still on "my apps" -> "all", you can re-install them.
Keep your phone in sync with google account and backup system data, and contacs every once in a while

Good Evening
Excusme everyone, I own a Sony Xperia ZL and running firmware C6503_10.4.1.B.0.101 (I hope this is the right one, I'am still a newbie about this), unrooted and bootloader locked. A few days ago, I got a bootloop on my device, and after searching the solutions they told me to flashing it. Then I just flashing it, and to be honest this is my first time flashing and I don't know any effect of this.
After successfully flashing, I lost all my internal data :crying:
But luckily , I don't know why but my device auto download all of my apps and also recover my contact automatically. I also got my WA messages because still have my back up on micro SD.
But not about the SMS, not even a single SMS appear.
I already try Dr.Fone for Android software and use deep scan, but the software found nothing.
Hope you will help me recover my SMS.
Thank you

No backup no recovery. Look for cwm recovery for lb bootloader for ur phone. By the next bootloop make a nandroid backup from ur damage system, flash the new rom and make a custom restore of the data only.

Google doesn't back up text messages automatically. There are apps that can back them up on a schedule to a cloud backup or on your storage of the phone. Might be something to look into. But yea, the other text messages are gone, sorry. The other stuff came back like your contacts and apps because that kind of stuff is backed up through Google's servers.

I'm unsure when I say this, but I'm pretty sure that SMS data is wiped when you clear the cache before flashing a new ROM.
I don't really understand why it would matter so much as long as you have everything else. Are they personal messages?
